Maybe this guy should talk to gary coleman about getting a job at a rent a cop agency! lol
Can you imagine what would have happened to Joe Q. Citizen if he had an ND in a classroom? He'd likely still be in jail in facing felony charges.
Yet this DEA bozo is still on the job and his supervisors aren't pissed about the ND. Rather they are upset that someone taped it.
How dare one of you peasants tape one of your lords doing something incredibily negligent!
"His identity is known as a police officer..."
And a nut case. They don't seem concerned at all that this guy just hauled off and shot himself in the foot in front of a roomful of children. Is he going to claim disability payments now? What a bizarre story.
Schools are supposed to safe areas so no guns allowed, but the ATF and FBI carries this known unstable hair trigger weapon in to a grade school in Waco,Tx and this is how the trouble started chanches are they shot them own selves.
LOL well, the video is a hoot.
He can always get a job with the Atlanta PD.
"Experts in the field said that the undercover agent should never have been videotaped because it could put the agent's life at risk"
This Turkeys life is at risk every time He hauls that Glock out of the holster.
They don't want the video public BECAUSE IT IS SO EMBARRASSING!
It would seem he is a greater risk from himself than from anyone else.
And performing publicly for a group of rap fans and gangsta wannabees didn't compromise his cover?

I saw the video, and gleefully attached it to email forwarded to EVERONE I know, for laughs (thank God no one, but the IDIOT, was hurt), and "for instructional purposes" to show/remind my friends and family what NOT to do with a firearm.
As far as the ridiculous quote from Channel 6 above, WHY should we care about the outing of an 'undercover' agent, when, after the AD (accidental discharge) in a classroom full of FOURTH graders, he SHOULD have been summarily FIRED?
He should NEVER be able to work in law enforcement again, although he could probably get a job as an unarmed security guard, or perhaps, as an armed Deputy at the Fulton County Georgia Sheriff's Department.
Actually, I'm surprised, after TERRORIZING those little kids (ESPECIALLY when, after the AD, he CONTINUED on, and was attempting to demonstrate his "professionalism" with a so-called "assault" rifle! They were yelling "Put it AWAY! Put it AWAY!"), their parents, and teachers, he hasn't been picked up by the Department of Homeland Security.
Personally, I am surprised (or, am I?) to hear that this goofball is a federal agent of any type. When I saw the video, my first thought was that he was some "Barney Fife" (the "professional" PROVED that one "bullet", in the wrong hands, CAN be dangerous!) drug "agent" from some little po-dunk police department.
If he IS, in fact, a Federal "agent", then he must have been trained in the same way that the ATF "agents" that assaulted the men, women, and children at WACO were. Remember the fat-ass "agent" (probably an office-pogue/desk-jockey with a black ninja outfit, body armor, and dangerous - to HIM and those fellow "agents" around him - weapons) who shot HIMSELF while climbing up an "assault" ladder? And the other ATF "agents" there that shot each other accidentally, and then blamed it on the Branch Davidians? Yeah, they were REAL professionals too.
This is your DEA agent
This is your DEA agent on drugs
Any questions ?
and just exactly WHAT is this fool doing playing with his gun at a GOLF event besides showing off???
Exposing his face and getting his gun away from him takes away a major life risk.
Maybe it's just me, but something tells me the video isn't the safety hazard here.
Sounds like he did a pretty good job of that himself.
"It puts a lot of undercover agents in jeopardy if their faces are videotaped," the masked agent told Local 6 News. "His identity is burned. His identity is known as a police officer and its a potential personal safety hazard to himself as well as his family members."
Since he 'outed' himself already (in front of the group), what's the diff? Who videotaped him? The DEA so they could use it for their own PR? Tough. Maybe the super-sleuth should've been wearing a mask like the 'agent' who spoke to channel 6?
Funny video - he looks more like a perp than an agent. Good thing he shot himself and nobody else was hurt.
"An investigation has been launched to determine who leaked the home video of the undercover DEA agent shooting himself at an event sponsored by the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association."
Whoever released that video did the Nation a great service by exposing such utter stupidity on the federal level.
